Progress in our Twin's Room

Since we moved into our house this past winter we have been trying to get paint on the walls, curtains and art up. Our five year old twins share this room. I don't have any good before pictures so just imagine this space with the walls in builder's flat creamy white paint (which gets dirty fast). So far we've painted their room in Benjamin Moore's Love and Happiness. It's a great shade of pink since it's so light and creamy- just what I was looking for. There are many other things I want to do with their space, but I know projects and rooms sometimes take time to get it the way you want. Note: These are progress images:

One of my favorite pieces in their room is the blue french-y dresser. I wish I could say I painted it, however, this beauty was my first piece I ever bought at Lucketts Store. The shape and color are what got me. After I bought this dresser it helped me think about how I could paint some of our furniture that needed updating. Really, it was an inspirational piece for me!

The world map is a great etsy find by Judy Kaufmann. I really like the idea of maps in children's bedrooms so they might learn a bit of geography when they have some downtime. This wall will be fun to work on! Since we have identical twins, I think this picture (below) would be perfect in their room too.

Some of the art we have put up are Jessie Willcox prints. Have you seen her art before? She was an American painter who captured tender moments of childhood. Sometimes my girls will look at these prints and say things like, "I'm like the girl reading her book in the window." Here are some other darling images.

These two are such hams! They helped me make the watercolor banner for their fifth birthday. Their room needed a bit more color so up goes the banner for the time being. We got the idea here.
